Waffle House bumps egg prices while Trump focuses on DEI. I say yolk before woke.

[Zorro]

And what is the president I entrusted to oversee the egg economy doing while consumers like me are facing some form of Waffle House egg tariff? He's fixated on DEI and other non-egg matters.

Waffle House has just shown us how badly President Donald Trump is failing egg-centric Americans.

Like many voters, I am a breakfast-oriented ovo-voter, meaning I cast my presidential ballot for whoever I think will bring down the price of eggs. We ovo-voters had our voices heard loud and clear in the 2024 presidential election. Egg prices were high, so we voted for Donald Trump, a convicted felon, because we figured he’d strong-arm the chicken cartel.

Boy, was that a mistake. On Tuesday we learned the restaurant chain Waffle House will start charging customers a 50-cent-per-egg surcharge. That means the special-order 12-egg-and-sausage scramble I have each morning before heading to work at the defibrillator factory will cost an extra $6.00!!

Trump told me the cost of my eggs would go down, not up!

Waffle House officials released a statement that said: “Consumers and restaurants are being forced to make difficult decisions. Rather than increasing prices across the menu, this is a temporary targeted surcharge tied to the unprecedented rise in egg prices.”

Excuse me, but I specifically voted for lower egg prices, not for an “unprecedented rise in egg prices.”

1. You can't do anything about egg prices

while bird flu is running rampant in these factory chicken operations. And you can't do anything about bird flu when you have an anti-vaxxer in the Health Depr. and basically nobody running the Ag. Dept.
